50 bitcoins are moving for the first time since 2009, is Satoshi you?

50 bitcoins mined in 2009 who have not moved since have just been moved. Although some speculators claim that the BTC are related to Satoshi Nakamoto, there is no evidence that this is actually a wallet belonging to the creator of Bitcoin.

Yesterday afternoon, Whale alert, a Twitter account reporting major bitcoin transfers, said that 40 BTC, who had been sleeping since 2009, had been transferred from a portfolio potentially belonging to Satoshi Nakamoto to an unknown wallet.

The coins for this transaction were mined in the first month of Bitcoin's existence, ” precise Whale Alert.

The market reacted quickly and the Bitcoin price fell more than 5% in a few hours and finally stabilized around $ 9,500.

While the information has been widely retweeted and taken up on networks, the fact that the coins were mined in 2009 and remained inactive during all these years is the only link that possibly connects them to the creator of Bitcoin.

Hundreds if not thousands of people were already mining Bitcoin at the time, and some of them have been selling from time to time. The last sale of this kind of Bitcoin mined at the start took place in August 2017, said Nic Carter, co-founder of Coin Metrics.

Carter added that it could be anyone but "probably someone technical enough to run Bitcoin software from client Satoshi".

Further analysis also casts serious doubt on the fact that this is Nakamoto. Analysis of the habits of a former miner was used to develop the model " Patoshi Which shows the blocks that Nakamoto has potentially mined.

The blocks extracted by Satoshi are supposed to have a specific pattern, which the block in question does not have.

You all have to improve your analytical game, ” concluded Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp.
